Reports published by the Registry are available to the public. These never include names or other identifying information about patients.

More detailed information, again containing no personal details, is available to the Department of Health, local government, health care institutions, health professionals and health researchers.

Health and medical researchers may request access to personal information in order to ask individuals if they are willing to be involved in research studies. This is only granted under strict conditions which are governed by the Department's Human Research Ethics Committee (external site).
